Q

What is SMEAC (mission planning)?

A
  • Situation – the current ground truth
  • Mission – the objective
  • Execution – the “how”
  • Administration – the means/logistics
  • Communication – Primary/Alternate/Contingency/Emergency (PACE) plans and contracts
48
Q

Identify

  • Big picture
  • Often times, this will include a large summary of events currently pertaining to the overall campaign or conflict. This will come from the intelligence community, through the Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC)

  • Contracts (CACI)
54
Q

What does PACE stand for in Pace Plan?

A
  • Primary – What are your primary means of communication (Chat)
  • Alternate – What happens when the primary is being used (TSVOIP)
  • Contingency – Things are going wrong, how do you communicate? (Cell Phone)
  • Emergency – Worst case scenario, but still need to communicate. (Smoke signals)
55
Q

What does CACA stand for in Contracts?

A
  • Criteria – “X” happens, which triggers a contract
  • Authority – Who has the ownership of saying that “X” happened?
  • Communication – EXACT VERBAGE! When “X” happens, then we will send a chat message with these exact words to this group of individuals.
  • Action – What action is expected to take place after the communications? After receiving message from Team A, Team B will perform these exact steps.
